Fade Into the Night (Philly Heat series, #5)Fade Into the Night by Becky Flade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fade Into the Night is the 5th book in the Philly Night series and could be read as a standalone, however I do recommend reading previous books in the series. Meet the characters Noah and Sadie. Noah is an FBI Special Agent who has come to Philadelphia in pursuit of the Beltway Romeo, Sadie a Forensic Facial Reconstructionist. The two re-meet in the most unlikely place after a brief “fling” a few years prior. The heat between the two is hard to miss and makes you wonder why they ended it to begin with. The author includes everything you could possibly want in a story. Danger is around every corner, a heated romance, a crime that needs to be solved and the suspense behind every page.
